Japanese tech giant Dynabook has thrown down the gauntlet to Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 with its latest offering, the 13.3-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) 2-in-1 Dynabook V83/LX Convertible, designed for business use.
The new laptop features a 360-degree hinge, allowing it to be used in five different styles: pen, monitor, Note PC, tablet and flat. The laptop comes with a Wacom active electrostatic pen with a pressure sensitivity level of 4096.
Under the hood, the device is powered by a 13th Gen Core U CPU and comes with 16GB/32GB memory and 256GB/512GB NVMe SSD storage. Dynabook says its Empower technology, which includes advanced cooling and heat dissipation, will keep everything running smoothly.
Pre-ordering can be tricky
The laptop has 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB 3.0, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.1, and HDMI. It also features an 8-megapixel rear camera, a VGA resolution front camera (with that all-important privacy slider), and a microSD card slot.
There is also the option to include fingerprint authentication, face authentication and an LTE modem (Nano SIM card).
Despite its rugged features, the dynabook V83/LX is lightweight, weighing approximately 2.1 pounds (or 2.3 pounds with the 4G model). It comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled.
While the dynabook V83/LX could compete with the Surface Pro 9, potential buyers may need to be patient as the company has just started accepting pre-orders through its Japanese site and, for now, only by inquiry . We're afraid there's no big “Buy Here” button.
